About this property

Welcome to 3398 St James Drive, a 3-bedroom(plus bonus room), 2-bath home in the gated community of St. James Plantation. Purchased from the builder and owned by the same family ever since, this home has been carefully maintained over the years, with repairs and updates always done the right way.

The major systems have been looked after, so the next owner can move in with confidence. The roof was replaced in the summer of 2026, the HVAC was updated in 2023, and the water heater in 2022. The encapsulated crawlspace includes a dehumidifier that has been serviced every six months, and the termite bond is active.

Inside, real hardwood floors and high ceilings give the open living area a bright, spacious feel. The primary suite includes a sitting nook, a quiet spot to read or unwind. Upstairs, a finished room over the garage offers flexibility for guests, a home office or extra bedroom, with room for visiting family to spread out. Doors off that room open to additional storage space in the eaves. All bathrooms are tiled.

Outside, a covered porch wraps across the front of the home, and the fully screened back porch overlooks the creek. It's a peaceful spot for a quiet morning coffee. The gate and main road are close by, which keeps everyday trips easy.

Life in St. James brings a full-service marina, waterfront dining at Beacon 315 Restaurant & Tiki Bar, a boutique pharmacy and several parks,trails all within the gates. Optional club memberships open the door to 81 holes of golf, pools, fitness centers, tennis, pickleball and croquet. It's a comfortable, well-cared-for home in a community built around coastal living and relaxing.
